We Had a Rumblethump for lunch

Earlier this week I posted a link to a photo of Rumblethump on Scotland for the Senses. Today I prepared Rumblethump for our lunch and it was so good we both went back for a second helping. here is a photo of the leftovers.
RECIPE:
you will need:
potatoes, ground beef, small onion, head of cabbage, beef broth, shredded mild cheddar cheese

peel and slice 8 - 10 potatoes, place in saucepan with enough water to cover, add 2 tbsp. of butter and one bay leaf. boil potatoes till soft enough to coarsely smash by hand. (DO NOT DRAIN) but remove the bay leaf before smashing.
brown the ground beef in a skillet with some onion, salt and pepper.
Remove outer leaves of cabbage and wash before using. trim core bottom. cut cabbage in half then half again. slice these quarters into 3/4 inch pieces toss to separate. set aside

to assemble the casserole, butter inside of a large casserole bowl,
first layer is the cut up cabbage dotted with 2 TBSP. butter
second layer is the browned ground beef and onion
third layer is the coarsely smashed potatoes(use everything except the bay leaf)
fourth layer is shredded cheddar cheese to cover
finally, take 1 and 1/2 cup of low sodium beef broth and slowly pour along the inside of the bowl making sure it goes down to the cabbage
place in 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until you think the cabbage is done. you will need to cover the cheese with foil the last 20 minutes to prevent it browning too much.
